Titus Andronicus and their patient patrons at Merge Records are pleased to announce the new live LP, Stadium Rock: Five Nights at the Opera, a record which will allow fans everywhere their chance to relive the auspicious occasion from the comforts of their own home. +@'s position as the most thrilling live act in rock and roll has long been etched in stone, but never before has that riveting energy been captured on wax as it is here. The A-side to Stadium Rock revisits some of TMLT's most celebrated hits in a newly concise context, stripping away all studio wizardry until only the primal passion remains. The B-side offers fresh electric arrangements of the largely acoustic fifth act of TMLT's rock opera narrative, presenting a new perspective on the material Tiny Mix Tapes praised for "emotional intensity... unrivaled anywhere in rock music," as well as debuting the previously unreleased TMLT outtake, "69 Stones." Taken as a whole, Stadium Rockis a whirlwind journey through a moment in time never to be repeated, preserved for future generations starving for "the real deal." The live LP will also be accompanied by a full-length concert film, available to stream online, which will serve to further immerse the consumer.
